«Hijos de nuestro barrio» is the novel by Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, published by MR (Alcor) in 1989 in paperback, with 488 pages, in Spanish.
In a Cairo neighborhood at the end of the 19th century, a patriarch distributes his lands and retires; his descendants are divided between workers and bosses. From time to time an idealist emerges who tries to free the oppressed. Beneath an apparently simple story, the work addresses social hierarchy, power and the human condition.
This edition belongs to the Las otras culturas collection. Naguib Mahfouz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
For readers of classic novels and literature with social depth, as well as for those interested in Egyptian narrative.
Naguib Mahfouz Abdelaziz Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Basha was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described him as a writer "who, through works rich in nuance – now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous – has formed an Egyptian narrative art that applies to all mankind".
